Bug 142010

Summary: xfig put libs in the wrong place (maybe solved)
Product: Gentoo Linux Reporter: disperato <schwarzmann>
Component: Current packagesAssignee: Gentoo Linux bug wranglers <bug-wranglers>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE    
Severity: normal    
Priority: High    
Version: 2005.1   
Hardware: AMD64   
OS: Linux   
Whiteboard:
Package list:
Runtime testing required: ---

Description disperato 2006-07-28 08:51:18 UTC
the emerging of xfig in amd64 environment put libraries in
 /usr/lib/X11/xfig/
whereas emerging xfig in a 32bit or chroot32 host put libraries in 
 /usr/lib/xfig

this problem persists since a year now (I was so discorauged as foolish to don't notice it and set up a chroot32 environment), never solved, and leads to segfault after the program's window opens. Making a link did the trick:
 cd /usr/lib64
 ln -sf X11/xfig xfig

Excuse me for such a silly help, but If you modify the ebuild or the configure script newbies  as me can use this great program. This problem is common to all versions of xfig I tried on amd64 platforms under various configurations.
